The interesting revelation, stated somewhat innocuously, is this little nugget:

"The ENQUIRER reporters were registered guests at the hotel, while Edwards was not."

This means that the Enquirer reporters were not just following Edwards and just stumbled into the story. If they were registered guests, they were tipped off about the clandestine meeting.

So -- who tipped them off? A hotel employee? Seems unlikely that the reservation alone, which would haev been made in a 3rd party's name, would have tipped off an employee.

Perhaps Edwards' girlfriend herself tipped off the Enquirer? As in "I'm trying to force him to choose between me and his wife!" type of tipoff?

Very interesting. No more "Attorney General Edwards", we can be sure.

Ancient news. The new news today is that FOX News confirmed what the National Enquirer reported.

I believe hotels can still evict guests that are causing a disturbance.

It was the Clintons. One less competitor for the VP slot.

Not only Fox, but The Times (UK), too:

I think this whole thing is an Edwards misinformation campaign to prove he isn’t homosexual. He would never have sex with a woman because it would mess up his hair.

As Rush and others have pointed out, the side-squeeze, affair, love child, and hotel trysts, are resume’ enhancers for the Silky Pony.

"So -- who tipped them off?"

While the political inkblot test seems to favor Hillary, why not consider Obama's Kennedy/Daley handlers? They more or less got whatever they could out of Silky P, so why not remove him before he becomes a future embarrassment or simply someone whose potential appointment to this or that would be of less value than some other individual?

Crumpling up Edwards and throwing him in the wastebasket might just be the kind of change™ some of Der Fuehrer's people might hope® for.

His secret mistress Rielle Hunter and her baby were upstairs

The key here is whether it should say "her baby" or "their baby". I would assume that a baby would not be brought along for a clandestine meeting unless it was his. Otherwise, the rendezvous would would really be tawdry beyond the pale.

Agreed. They can also kill bedbugs and cockroaches, but not the two humans of that variety.

Could have sprayed 'em with something though.

Well I would guess that Edwards shot at becoming the US AG is dead.

At first glance I thought you were wrong, as Clinton had sex without messing up his hair, but, I had forgotten it was not sex.
